Now, I'd like to announce our new school project. You will be graded for this, of course, but most of all it is a learning experience. All the practical knowledge you gain may very well be put to use in the future. You see...

[She reaches down to pick up a small basket, placing it on the desk before her. What's inside the basket, you wonder? It's eggs. A lot of them. They aren't boiled or anything of the sort.]

For an entire week, you all will be proud parents. These [she indicates the eggs again.] will be your frail, loved children. You may name them, dress them or even try to feed them. As long as your child is still in one piece next Thursday, you pass the project. Of course, one can never become a parent on their own, which is why I've taken the liberty of assigning you all a partner. Both of you will have to cooperate and take it in turns to care for your baby. That is the trick behind parenting, after all. Stella, already being a proud mother herself, is exempt from the project and will be giving a guest lecture early next week.

When I call your names, you will come forth and take one 'child' out of the basket. Once you've all had your turn, I'd like you to take a while to get to know your partner better and make some agreements on the ways you feel this project should be handled.

[Try again when she's more stable ahahaha 8Da. ANYWAY, Rena gets a thoughtful expression on her face, absently swinging her legs in the process.]

Hmm...nothing really special. Rena just learned normal things, like math and science! There were only a few kids so there was only one teacher for everyone...so classmates would have to help each other a lot!

[a-childish-lord.livejournal.com]

[B-but he doesn't know she's unstable D:]

That sounds fun. I had just one teacher, and there was no other..students.

[flower-of-hell.livejournal.com]

Really? Were you tutored privately then?

[And then:]

You must have been someone really important!

[a-childish-lord.livejournal.com]

Kind of!

[FFFFF, awkward stare. He doesn't know what to say to that...]

[flower-of-hell.livejournal.com]

[That's okay, she's just going to smile happily and pat your head while you stare. ~AFFECTION~.]

[a-childish-lord.livejournal.com]

[W-why is she patting his head?? Oooh the awkward...but give him a minute for his brain to start working again.]

...Kind of?

[flower-of-hell.livejournal.com]

[Because you're cute, duh. You're lucky she hasn't tried to take you home yet. 8| Though that may change if you keep up that moe routine. ANYWAY subject change since he appears to be getting flustered now.]

How would you like to do this, Rae-kun? I guess we could trade every day or so....

[a-childish-lord.livejournal.com]

[It's not a routine, this is how he always acts!]

Yeah..that should work. [He's gonna have to figure out how to keep this egg away from his pet dragon x_x]

[flower-of-hell.livejournal.com]

[UH HUH. 8|]

Okay! We'll do that then!

[NOW FOR MORE IMPORTANT THINGS.]

Hmm...I wonder what we should name it, I wonder what~? ♥

[a-childish-lord.livejournal.com]

[B-but it's true!! ;;]

...Name it? Why?

[Because it would be rude to just say 'it's just an egg' and he has a feeling he'll get a glare for saying it...]

[flower-of-hell.livejournal.com]

[Hmm.]

Well, we're supposed to be parents, right? It would be more fun if it had a really cute name!

[a-childish-lord.livejournal.com]

Okay...like what?

[flower-of-hell.livejournal.com]

I don't know!

[And now putting a hand on your arm SHE'S NOT FLIRTING I SWEAR SHE'S JUST LIKE THIS.]

Let's think up one together Rae-kun!

[a-childish-lord.livejournal.com]

[She might not, but he's REALLY awkward about physical contact!! He just kind of tenses up at that.]

O-okay?

[flower-of-hell.livejournal.com]

[...That's bad. Rena is uh. Very physical. But she removes her hand after he gives the affirmative in order to cradle the egg. NOW TO PONDER.]

[a-childish-lord.livejournal.com]

[Oh, this is going to be a very awkward week...But he's just gonna wait, since he doesn't know a good name for an egg.]

[flower-of-hell.livejournal.com]

[Yeeeeaaaah. Anyway, she eventually turns back with a smile.]

Let's name it Ume-chan, Rae-kun!

[No particular reason. She just thinks it's cute.]

[a-childish-lord.livejournal.com]

Okay..that sounds good.

[He wouldn't be able to think of a better name!]

[flower-of-hell.livejournal.com]

We should probably get a basket for it or something...

[Think think leg swing think]

[a-childish-lord.livejournal.com]

Okay..there's a lot of baskets in the shops.

[flower-of-hell.livejournal.com]

Okay! We can get one of those after school then!

[a-childish-lord.livejournal.com]

Alright!
